In the plans its says that the proposed new store would be around 40 per cent smaller that the current Homebase site. The application also states that the new building would be 'orientated so that its rear elevation runs parallel with the rear boundaries of properties fronting Kemp Close'.

The change in orientation has been made to 'allow for more of the site to be used for car parking' and 'for the access from Pickard Street to be changed from the existing ‘in/out’ arrangement to be replaced by a single, all movement junction.'

There would be 97 parking spaces on the site, which also includes seven disabled access spaces, eight parent and child spaces, two electric vehicle charging spaces and 16 cycle spaces.

Access to the site would be taken from Emscote Road via a new access on Pickard Street.

Although this second store would be close to the first store in Myton Road there is no mention in the planning application that the Myton Road store would close as a result of the second store being built.

Since June 20 there has been nine objection comments and one supporting comment submitted on Warwick District Council's planning portal.
